Number six ninty nine! Cardinals Hall of Famer and former Dodgers tío, Albert Pujols, connected on career home run 699 against Andrew Heaney — because of course he did — in the top of the third inning. It was a two-run bomb to give the Cardinals the early 2-0 lead.
The ball was hit 108 miles per hour off the bat and traveled an estimated 433 feet. Here’s what that shot looked like.
Of his 699 bombs, 12 came with the Dodgers last season.
Albert was always going to get to 700 at Dodger Stadium and step one was done early.
